Hutcho

Honestly. The mods on this site are just terrible. So badly behaved.

I probably found this funnier than it was. But still. Lol. https://vine.co/v/hL7bAEHEvAl

This is the crucial point... Matic would not be the same as he is now had he not left us when he did. Matic then and Matic now should be regarded as completely different entities as they are completely different players.

I honestly don't see a problem with chucking Matic straight in if jose wants to. Sure everything is new, he hasn't gelled with the players etc yet. But he knows how to play that role, and it isn't as essential to build up a link between the guys around you there, as it is say at striker. I don't think we will chuck him straight in, but i can't invisage any big problems from putting him in.

A Bola: Can you guarantee that the game against Porto was your last in the service of Benfica? Matic: "Yes, it was my last game. I want to thank all the people at the club and all the supporters. Benfica will forever be in my heart. I played here two and a half years, I gave my best in every training session, every game, and now is the right time to leave. I want to improve, I want to go to a better league and I want to go to Chelsea, the club which I also love. I also thank the president of Benfica, who did everything he could to keep me here but I have wanted to leave and I insisted on leaving. I respect the effort made ​​to keep me at the club, he and all the people of Benfica were very good to me, they made ​​me happy, but I repeat that I insisted on going because I understood that the moment is right." How is your relationship with Benfica's president Luis Filipe Vieira? “We have a perfect relationship because he is a good man and a good president, very fond of club. He really tried everything to keep me, but my decision was made. I leave with Benfica in my heart. Do you think the fans will understand your decision? NM: “I hope so, sincerely. I have always given my best for the team, the club and the supporters. I hope they recognize that and understand my position and my desire. It is true that on the eve of the Porto game you did not prepare with the team as a way of exerting pressure? NM: “No. The only truth in this story is that I went to the concentration a few hours late, I was authorized by the club to deal with personal problems and after that I went quickly to Seixal. “I wanted to go to Chelsea, even if Benfica had better options. I was very young when I was at Chelsea and I didn't show all I could. Now I want to show that I have quality to play there. It's a top club and I want to work with one of the best managers in the world. “When I first went to Chelsea I was very young and there were great players in my position. I really had few chances to play back then. Now it's different: I'm 25, I'm not the same player who left Chelsea. I'm sure [Abramovich] knows that. Now I have the chance to go back and work with one of the best manager in the world.”

Are you in a position where you can guarantee that the game with FC Porto was your last game for Benfica? Yes, it was my last game. I want to thank all the people in and around the club, and all the fans. Benfica will be forever in my heart. I’ve tried my best in every training session, in every game, and now is the right time to leave. I want to improve, to go back to the best league in the world, and back to Chelsea, a club which I like. -Source: A Bola. Translation: Ollie Glanvill.

Congrats man. I get way to shit scared when trying to plan stuff for the future.

lol. Thats pretty funny.

Be a great signing. As for the "id rather have x y or z player". It doesn't work like that. It would appear he is available. And he is the sort of player that should fill a position we have needed to fill for a while.

Why you changed you're name to ready steady cook man?

Thankyou. Such a great honour. Clearly you didn't get it was a reaction to the previous full page stupid argument because someone said they didn't like Matic. But oh well. Happy it got me nominated for the award.

I don't like the fact that whenever i hear the name nemanja i think Vidic. So if he could change his first name that would be great.

Don't think it was the linesman. It was the ref. The linesman i think was asking if the newcastle player touched it. Ref said yes, and then the linesman said they were offside so the ref disallowed it. I'm assuming the ref thought he got a touch on it which is why it was disallowed. Otherwise the linesman would have put the flag up immediately.

Top of the league nanana. Shaping up nicely.

Fernandooooooo

Get in there you beast.

Just got back in from work. How we doing?

Let's go get the 3 points. I will be trying to rush through work so I don't miss the start. Hope to see some more willian oscar hazard

Hasn't worked out uforunately. And if 18 mil is the offer its not a bad return on investment. Its hard to see him go as i know he will be amazing wherever he goes and will be another one that got away. But he just isn't gonna get enough playing time here to show what he can do, with 5 other world class players, who are only slightly older than him.

They normally tell us immediately after when we are in the car still. Well done though. I'm sure you did great.

Good luck dude. It's the same as GTA... Sort of.

Welcome. Lol.
